The YouTuber Seltix is known for trying and testing all sorts of things: from dating apps to influencer products. Now he wanted to find out how lucrative an account on the paid platform OnlyFans is and dared to conduct an experiment together with the Twitch streamer Hakan (24).
What kind of experiment was it? Seltix wanted to know how easy it is to make money on OnlyFans. Originally, he wanted to try it himself, but then he didn’t feel entirely comfortable with the idea.
Instead, in his video from March 4th, the YouTuber accompanied his friend Twitch streamer Hakan, who had already been thinking about selling content on OnlyFans.
How does OnlyFans work? Seltix essentially describes OnlyFans as a social network. Users can set up their profiles and post there. However, the crucial difference is that profiles can be monetized at will, which is why the platform is primarily used for disseminating explicit content, especially pornography.
The YouTuber also explains that most of the money is not necessarily made from monthly subscriptions, but in private messages, the DMs. There, customers can chat with creators and also request certain content.
Seltix believes that in reality, often it’s not attractive models at the other end, but employees of OnlyFans agencies who take care of the “annoying part” – from chatting with customers to painstakingly selecting the appropriate photos and videos.

How did the experiment go? Hakan started with a certain reach: he already had almost 5,000 followers on Twitch, and his main Twitter account has even a bit more. Additionally, the 24-year-old stated that he already had some experience with selling erotic images.
For the experiment, he produced content daily for 7 days and sold it – completely without an agency. If he enjoyed it, he could imagine doing it in the long term, he said beforehand. Later he explained that it had actually been hardly any effort, as he already had many of the contents but also recorded new ones.
How much did he earn? Already on the first day, the 24-year-old claimed to have earned a three-digit amount. He first ordered some food with that.
At the end of the week, Hakan had earned a total of 908 US dollars. After subtracting OnlyFans’ share, he ended up with around 687 €. He continues to operate the account even after the experiment ended (as of: March 7, 2023).
On Twitter, the content creator thanks for the support and explains that he now has “fans” in the three-digit range. On Twitch, he still wants to remain the “funny Hakan” (via Twitter).
